About this study

Official title: Using Magnetic Resonance Techniques to Improve the Characterisation and Localisation of Breast Cancer

Objective: To determine the accuracy of multi-functional magnetic resonance (MR) in detecting, localising and characterising satellite lesions in relation to an index breast tumour in order to improve definition of clinical target volume after local excision.

Hypothesis: Pre-operative multi-functional MR has high sensitivity and specificity for localising unsuspected multifocal and multicentric lesions in women diagnosed with early breast cancer.

Breast Neoplasms

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensitivity of MR techniques in detecting histopathologically-identified multifocal and multicentric lesions

    Sensitivity of the MR technique in detecting histopathologically-identified multifocal/centric pre-invasive/invasive disease will be calculated (with 95% confidence intervals)from positive or negative correlates.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Closeness of agreement between MR techniques and histopathology in localising satellite lesions relative to the index tumour.

    Distance \& distribution of lesions from reference tumour will be plotted and correlated with distances and signal characteristics seen on multifunctional MR.

    Pre-op MRI volume will be plotted against histopathological dimensions and examined for agreement between the two methods.

    Paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests will be used to test for systematic differences between MRI and pathology measurements.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity of MR techniques in detecting histopathologically-identified multifocal and multicentric lesions (time frame: 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2016.
